It’s ridiculous to what parents are subjecting their children and horrific and unconscionable to what we have allowed our provincial government to subject the school staff.
So you didn’t miss another mortgage payment. Now you get to miss several more.
Why are people like lemmings running off a cliff? Why do they submit to such horrific circumstances?
Fear.
Your fear is misplaced if you’re sending your children to school. You should be afraid.
Afraid of a government that exposed your children to a deadly virus which is currently ravaging Quebec, Ontario, and Alberta.
Because the schools were opened without appropriate measure to ensure safety. To keep oligarchs wealthy and business owners in profits.
You know who else is in danger? The essential workers we cheered for in March and April. People who keep society running. Transportation, Grocery stores, gas stations, pharmacies, food security, garbage removal, all those people who had to work.
Our fear led us down the garden path. The premier is a Pied Piper who whistled his tune and put our children in peril.
Why are we sending our children to school in a pandemic in a second wave upswing?

I didn’t send my son. He’s at home relatively safe, trying to conduct online learning without a camera or microphone in his classroom because the Edmonton Catholic school board either can’t afford to pay for it or is too busy trying not to kill teachers and children.
Yes I have the financial security to keep my son home. My husband is an essential worker.
But I would have left my house and abandoned my car over the life of my child.
Three weeks ago I was chastised for not understanding the tough choices parents had to make.
I don’t understand those choices. And I resent them because it puts my husband at risk and my older son as well, since he has a full time job now.
So the risk to my family has expanded exponentially.
Hope your rent/mortgage and car are worth it. God help you if any of your family gets ill. And god keep my family safe from the gullibility of the public and the government’s manipulation of their fear of losing everything.
How foolish to put your most valued treasures at risk for a house or a car.
Food isn’t a concern. Neighbours, friends, family can assist with feeding families in difficult situations. We’ve done it before.
Possessions are immaterial. Your loved ones are the priority.
Not your stuff.
My husband and children mean everything to me. They are who I live for. They are my world.
I’m saddened by the myopic and self interested choices of others whose fears are losing everything.
You will lose everything if you keep allowing a Pied Piper to lead you and your children down the garden path.
